Steps:
- Mix oil, brown sugar and eggs until well blended. (I use a hand-held mixer.) Add powdered milk to batter and continue mixing until well blended.
- Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves together then stir with a whisk to combine completely. Add to egg and sugar mixture. ( I switch to a wooden spoon here).
- Stir raisins into batter. Add oatmeal gradually (about 1/2 cup at a time), adding a couple of tablespoons of water as you add oatmeal to help with stirring. Mixture will be stiff.
- Put heaping spoons full on greased cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in 325 degrees Fahrenheit oven above the center rack. The cookies brown faster on the bottoms than the tops.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking trays with baking parchment. Pour 50ml/2fl oz boiling water over the raisins and leave to soak for 20 mins until plump. Drain, reserving the liquid.

- Drop heaped tbsps of the cookie dough onto the baking trays, well spaced apart as they will spread when cooking. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden.

CLASSIC OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIES
Full of nubby oats and plenty of sweet raisins, these lightly spiced cookies are pleasingly chewy in the center and crisp around the edges, with a hint of butterscotch from the dark brown sugar. They keep really well, so you can make them up to a week in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They're also great for mailing when a package of cookies is in order.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two large cookie sheets, or line them with parchment paper or reusable silicone liners.
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add brown and granulated sugars, then beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then, beat in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Set mixer on low speed, and beat flour mixture into the butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins.
- Spoon out dough by large tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, about 9 to 13 minutes. Centers will still be quite soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

MOMS OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
This is a great cookie that my Mother made and our family has been making them ever since. Mom was a great cook and I loved to watch her make her home made bread and cookies. There was three of us girls that used to help her with the canning and baking, and we have a lot of great memories with our Mother.

Steps:
- 1. Turn oven on at 350* and bake cookies for 13 -14 min.

- 3. Drop the cookies on cookie sheet and bake 13 - 14 min. Should get about 2 dozen.
Tips:
- Use rolled oats: Steel-cut oats will not work as well in this recipe. Rolled oats provide the right texture and consistency for oatmeal raisin cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you get uniform-sized cookies. This will help them bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

These oatmeal raisin cookies are a classic for a reason. They are soft, chewy, and full of flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make them perfect every time. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
